I have renamed the Caecilia font from the extracted PW fonts. I have made NO changes to the actual font. I added the new font as a custom font and took screenshots. The PW displays both fonts totally differently even though they are the same actual fonts.

(thanks for telling me this weird PW quirk Blossom)

Hmm even I didn't notice it has more weight! I've been thinking about this....why on earth would they want the default fonts to show up lighter than it's actually weight? It makes no sense!

I was in Best Buy on Saturday and I did see the PW. The text was not actually black. It was a greyish color. The light does wash out the black.

Yep the default fonts are no where near black they are a greyish color. I can't even get the weighted fonts I modified to be black just a very dark grey. I think Palatino is my blackest font. It almost looks black. The higher the light settings, the lighter the text contrast.

I'm going to eventually have a go at Gentium SIL and see how I like it. I'll start off by making sure the line space is correct and use apply the same weight as I did to Charis SIL. If I like it, I'll fix it like I did Charis SIL.

You will find it doesn't suffer from the Line Spacing issue Charis does.

Sorry, JSWolf, but did I miss the final release of your mods to Charis? If so, do you mind posting the link again?

Blossom, I need some help. I need to know if increasing Typo Line Gap and Line Gap in a font's metrics makes a difference on a Kindle in both KF8 and Mobi. My larger Charis SIL doesn't work in ADE without increasing the gaps. But I need to know if the line space is affected in KF8 & Mobi on a Kindle. Thanks.

The only mods I can give to you now is the Modified and Compact set. The Larger sets are still in beta until I know if the changes needed so they work with ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) causes a problem on the Kindle.
